For those newcomers who are wondering what is being referred to in this comic, I invite you to have a look at the strips from here, here and here.

Also, as Google analytics has recently informed me, there seem to be quite a few people visiting the site from outside Australia, so a word of explanation might be needed for the punchline building across the past few strips. “Blue Heelers”was an Australian police procedural TV show that aired from 1993 to 2006, and was set in the same state as Joe currently lives (Victoria). As most of you probably already know, a ‘Blue Heeler’ is also a breed of dog; hence Joe’s confusion when he read the casting call in Strip 39.

Thanks everyone, looking forward to seeing you all back here on Wednesday for another Average comic!
